Josh Allen is the favorite to win the MVP Award

As things currently stand, Josh Allen is the clear-cut favorite to win the MVP Award this year. He defeated Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in his last game, and if he is able to defeat Rodgers (the reigning NFL MVP), then his case will become even stronger.

One could possibly make an argument about Jalen Hurts, as the Philadelphia Eagles are still undefeated. He could also win the award if the Eagles continue this form and have a better record than the Bills by the end of the season.

However, the chances of that are slim, as Allen has completely dominated this season. So far, the Bills quarterback has a passer rating of 109.1 with 1,980 yards, 17 touchdowns and 4 interceptions in 6 games this season.

Moreover, against NFC teams, in his career, Allen has a passer rating of 100.5 with 4,302 yards, 36 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 17 games. This signifies that he may be up for a big game against the Packers tonight as well.

Whether or not he wins the MVP award remains to be seen, but Josh Allen is currently the favorite to get the job done.
